Thumbs up Clarks Wheel Alignment Review

Just wanted to post my great experience at Clarks Wheel Alignment and Bel-Kirk Body Shop.

I just got my new wheel and tire setup and a couldn't be happier! 18x10!!!
They have 10+ years of experience in doing alignments, great customer service, friendly staff, competitive prices!

They will always be my go to for suspension setups, fender and body work. Tyler, Dan, Jason, Bob, Gary...the whole staff made me feel at ease and welcomed. I feel lucky because they do have experience working with EVOs, which is rare....many of their competitors claim they work on EVO's but its simply not true. One example wanted twice the amount and said they would have to do major front fender modification to make the wheel/tire setup work.

Clarks Wheel Alignment and Bel-Kirk Body Shop fine tuned my suspension to make it work without any front fender mods and I couldn't be happier!!!

My setup for my daily commute.
18x10 +25 235/40/18 Continental Extreme Contact DWS
front H&R 25mm spacers to clear Brembos
rear fenders slight pull and rolled.
Ksport Kontrol Pro V.3 coil-overs. dampening at 24 clicks

The car flys straight...rubs slightly on the front fender liner on hard bumps and is soo comfortable right now.

Pics soon to follow.

Holy stretched, 235 on 10's? Haha

If you look at NE Toy Drive 2011 the white BMW e36 with CCW's gets alignments done at Clarks (I talked to the owner when I was there) so they can do normal or slammed to hell alignments

+1 for clarks

^yes indeed , not too bad of a stretch especially on the DWS because of a higher sidewall then most because they are all seasons. Some people even go to 225...but that is way too much for me. Every tire expert I talked to said to go with a size anywhere between 225-275+ depending on the tire company, type of tire, and what type of driving and mods you are planning to do.

I chose daily, comfort and minimum front fender mods.

I saw that at the Toy Run! I am glad they have good experience with a variety of cars and give great advice.

Must be talking about Mr Wolff! Yep do all his alignment for this car and his previous cars as well.

Unfortunately we do not do corner balancing at this time.
